Just keep in mind, the costs of setting up and maintaining an LLC and the bank account that goes with it, not exorbitant but important to consider.I'm not a CPA or an attorney, but I would suggest taking the time to diligently put together a trusted team to facilitate your long and successful investment journey!

Utlimate goal is to maintain a healthy leverage on the rental property.

Any way to delay the official sale to keep taxes low while still maintaining a contract to buy? 

Keeping your listing updated, maintaining clear and friendly communication, valuing feedback, and adding thoughtful touches can significantly enhance their experience.

@Jessica Howell To transfer funds between LLCs, use a formal loan agreement or document it as an equity contribution while maintaining clear records.Depositing personal money into an LLC should be treated as either a capital contribution or a loan with repayment terms.

This was perfect to save a lot of money while maintaining a high standard of living.

If they say put up higher railings, additional smoke detectors, etc, complete it promptly and document it.I've been in the landlord business for 20 years, and I've always kept my properties to code and well maintained. 

Our goal is to purchase two multifamily properties per year, and we want to ensure that we establish the most effective structure for asset protection from the outset.We’re exploring options such as Subsidiary LLCs, Parent LLCs, and Irrevocable Trusts to maintain both asset protection and anonymity.

Tools like Baselane simplifies bookkeeping and tax preparation by categorizing transactions and storing records.Keep personal and business accounts separate to maintain LLC liability protection.Please don't use the same LLC for flips and rentals.

In today's world you need to be about 28-35% down on properties to be gross cash flow positive, closer to 40-42% to be truly net cash flow positive(i.e 50% of your income goes to maintaining the property, other 50% is actually profit).My recommendation is to buy ideally a 4/3 SFR that's a starter-friendly one in a good area, and rent it out by the room.
